Should I Be Concerned About The Lumps Under Collar Bone?

I have found 3 moveable lumps by my right collar bone. My blood tests state that my platelet level is slightly over 400.I have been on antibiotics for 10 days 500mg 3x day. Did not lessen the size of lumps.I have not had toothache, earache or head traumas.Should I request a biopsy? Any suggestions would help greatly. Thankyou

Based on your query data, In my opinion ,Dear You seem to suffer from -Could be-due- to NHL as these lymphnodes did not regress after antibiotics/

For this you need to consult a Surgeon and get the Excision Biopsy/CT chest and abdomen to rule out the HL(hodgkin Lymphoma) and NHL(Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma)
For this treatment Gp and Breast/Thorasic/Onco-Surgeon team would be needed to treat your case.
